Upper Republican NRD Water Quality Programs
A total of 250 wells across the district are sampled each year for contaminants. While public water supplies are routinely monitored, water quality in private wells is left to the well owner or well water user; it is for this reason that the Upper Republican NRD provides district-wide water quality programs.
Water Test Kits
The Upper Republican NRD is protecting your drinking water by providing drinking water test kits to individuals in the district for domestic and livestock water wells at no charge. Water samples can be analyzed for multiple contaminants, ensuring the safety of your family's drinking water.
Nitrate Sampling
